Cancer patient sues Houston doctor for fraud

A Florida cancer patient is suing her Houston doctor for allegedly defrauding her out of $60,000, according to KPRC TV. Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, a cancer researcher investigated for fraud by the FDA in the 90s, is accused by Lola Quinlan of over charging her credit card for medication that was given as part of her treatment at his clinic.

She also claims she was misled about the drugs she was given as part of her treatment, and she wasn’t told that she was buying drugs from a pharmacy that Burzynski owned.

“I’d like to see them shut down. That’s my hope, that he can’t do this to anybody else,” said Quinlan via a Skype interview with Local 2 Investigates.

She said she was drawn to the Burzynski Clinic by a video advertisement on the clinic’s website, and she was hoping the so-called “magic bullet” touted by the clinic would improve her condition.

Outside of the credit card charges, Quinlan is also suing because she claims the treatment interfered with her recovery.
